Scream was formed in Northern Virginia in 1981 by singer Peter Stahl, his brother Franz Stahl on guitar, bassist Skeeter Thompson and drummer Kent Stax. They are considered one of the benchmark bands in the history of the Washington, D.C. hardcore music movement. Along with bands such as Minor Threat and Government Issue, Scream ultimately merged the attributes of the movement, which were blinding speed, heavy political and social connotations in the lyrics, unpretentiousness of attitude, and shunning of commercialism. Their music is faithful to the roots of rock, but spun itself into other genres by employing sounds that predate the raunchiness of grunge, while saluting reggae and speed metal. Scream hated the classification of bands into certain types and considered what they played as simply 'music.' Recording their music in the basement of the now legendary Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia, Scream became the first band on the Dischord label to release a whole album, Still Screaming, as opposed to singles or 12 inch EPs. Like the hardcore band Bad Brains, they could play clearly at breakneck speed, but also played mid-tempo songs like "American Justice" and "Hygiene," which were metal-tinged reggae.
For their second album Scream added another guitarist to their line-up, Robert Lee "Harley" Davidson, to thicken up the sound in the studio and in their live performances. In turn this eventually led to a powerful dual-lead guitar style, with complex guitar tracking, a more powerful live sound and an over-all crunchier sound for their third album. For a few compilation efforts and some live shows they added a keyboard player, Bobby Madden, who was a colleague of Davidson's from the same metal scene.
After the third album Banging the Drum, Kent Stax left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by local drummer Dave Grohl, who then played on Scream's 4th album No More Censorship. The band then toured Europe; with their May 4, 1990 show in Alzey, Germany being released by Tobby Holzinger as Your Choice Live Series Vol.10. Scream then recorded their fifth and final studio album Fumble, (which was much later released in 1993 on Dischord Records) and then called it quits in late 1990. Pete and Franz moved to North Hollywood and started rock band Wool, while Grohl joined Grunge band Nirvana. In 1997, Franz Stahl joined Dave Grohl's newly formed group, the commercially successful Foo Fighters, for a two year stint. During this time Pete Stahl worked as a road manager for both the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, while continuing to record albums with several bands, including the Earthlings? and Goatsnake. Skeeter Thompson remained in the D.C. area and continued to work in bands, as did Kent Stax with the Skinhead/Oi! -tinged bands: the Suspects, United 121, Spitfires United, and Alleged Bricks. Stax has also committed himself to a family life. Davidson continued in the band Angelstorm, (in Huntsville, Alabama), from 1993–1995 and created the new bands Orangahead, Festival of Fools, (with Madden in 1998) and two different bands both named God Is Dead, (one in D.C. and one in Huntsville, Alabama) from 2002-2005.
The original line-up of the band played a reunion show on December 20, 2009 at the Black Cat nightclub in Washington, D.C.
On February 7, 2011, the band supported Foo Fighters on a special show at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, when the Foo Fighters showcased their new album Wasting Light for the first time from beginning to end.

Scream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Цепляю игру на лассо,я матадор стопаю быков
Конкистадор завоюю их блок,мы представители [?],как посол
Курим плесень [?] подымили косой
На часах десять три-три O'clock
Выскачили [?]
We go,we go,тряси своей жопой сука
Наплёл в микрофон [?]
Не втыкаешь за мой звук [?] твои чувства
Мутим кэшик на музле,передаём по кругу [?]
Pretty'к настучал во фрутике и я запрыгнул в слюни
Она на мне,как в треугольнике бермудском
We go,we go,тряси своей жопой сука
Тряси своей жопой сука,я ниче не хочу слушать
The lyrics of Scream's song We convey the feeling of deep longing and desire for a significant other. The singer expresses that there is something more they want to say to their loved one to change their mind, but they are suffering in solitude, feeling closer to their partner all the time. They wish they could find a way to make it work and convey their sincerity, being true and blind for their lover both day and night, through changes in the seasons, and for all the reasons they could think of. The singer wants their love to be a give and take relationship where they never break the promises they make to one another, where everything is possible, and they have a chance to be together.
The repetitive lines of "You are my everything" emphasize the significance of the singer's love interest. The singer cannot do anything without them and sees them as the sun and sky, who give them a reason to live for. These lyrics can be viewed as a form of romantic infatuation, where the individual views their partner as being indispensable to their happiness and existence.

I something more that I can say
I cannot find words expressive enough to convey what I feel
To change your mind
To convince you to see things from my point of view
Suffering in solitude
Experiencing pain while being alone and without support
Get nearer all the time
Drawing closer with every moment that passes
If I could make it work
If I could find a way to make our relationship function
If only I could say
If only I could communicate my feelings effectively
If only I could find a way
If only I could discover a solution to our problems
To tell you
To confess my love and honest intentions
I'm so true
My feelings are genuine and sincere
Blind for you
I am so enamored that I cannot see anyone else but you
Day and night
My devotion and love is consistent, whether the sun is up or not
A change of season
Even with the passing of time and the changes it brings, my love remains the same
Dark and bright
Regardless of circumstances or emotions, my feelings for you persist
A thousand reasons
I have countless reasons for my affection towards you
Give and take and never break
We must be able to compromise and negotiate without severing our bond
The promises we make whenever
The commitments we make to each other, regardless of the situation or context
Everything's possible
Anything is achievable, as long as we work together
I think we should try
I believe it's worth it to give our relationship another chance
I wish I were with you tonight
I yearn to be in your presence and spend time together
With you tonight
By your side, in your company, and in your embrace
You are my everything
You are the most important person in my life
I can't do anything
Without you, I feel powerless and incapable
You are the sun and sky
You are the source of light and infinite possibilities in my life
You are the reason why
You are the motivation and inspiration for everything I do
